The famous nocturnal Hex hatch of the Midwest (and a few other lucky locations) stirs to the surface mythically large brown trout that only touch streamers for the rest of the year.
Hare's Ear. I had a little trouble with the wingcase, is it alright or does it need to be bigger? Also I think it's too fat/not long enough, am I right?
"I’ve always asked the fish for the final approval."
Now that is really way out there!
Although a proper blend of proportion, impressionistic, and imitative qualities may appease our eye, I’ve always asked the fish for the final approval

Where do you think the benchmarks for what construes "a proper blend of proportion, impressionistic, and imitative qualities" came from? Could it be that oft-expressed cliche sets up a false dichotomy?

Thank you for such an erudite response. However, angling and scientific luminaries aside, I'm having difficulty finding answers in it to the questions posed. I have a dull mind, so perhaps they were obfuscated by your rhetorical prowess?
Sorry for being so obtuse Smallflyguy.
For penance, I'll stick my head in the river the next time I'm out to practice my Flyish on the trout.:)
